It is Friday! You are about to leave for work when a bizarre message cut from the inlays of Spectrum games lands on the doormat. But what does it mean?...
Each word is from one game. Usual rules - 3 guesses until midday, then it's open season. There is also a theme which may help to get the trickier ones.

All correct, easy!
Best not to openly guess the theme yet as it would be a massive spoiler.

If so, it must be another Micromega game... Deathchase perhaps?

Yep! All done. Too easy?
Not sure yet but I might not be able to manage a quiz next week, volunteers welcome.

It's been a very cool idea, but maybe too short. More words would have been great (but also more laborious to make!
)

Yeah, R-Tape mixed it up a bit this week, by doing it on ... a Friday morning.

Of something I imagine! Nothing intentional though. Why? did you spot some?
The last one is a useful reminder for me to 'remix all ergot'.
